Who had this one on their Change launch bingo card for 2023? The 12 months may be very practically over and right here comes Nintendo with a last-minute shock: Jet Drive Gemini is coming to Nintendo Change On-line + Enlargement Pack in December. For the uninitiated, Jet Drive Gemini is a third-person shooter. In contrast to most Nintendo-made video games, it’s notable for having a tougher edge and being extra violent than different software program from the writer.
The announcement was made on the corporate’s X account, which you’ll be able to see right here:

Jet Drive Gemini launched on Nintendo 64 again in 1999. The sport was developed by Uncommon, which has all the time resulted in some weirdness for rereleases of the corporate’s software program ever because it was offered to Microsoft again in 2002. The Donkey Kong Nation trilogy was in seeming limbo for years over at Nintendo earlier than lastly changing into a mainstay within the firm’s varied on-line companies, however different titles from Uncommon’s N64-years of output have been largely lacking in motion.
The one exception to that has been the rerelease of Banjo-Kazooie. When that got here to Change On-line it was one thing of an occasion given BK is now a completely owned property of Microsoft. With the upcoming rerelease of Jet Drive Gemini, it will appear that the businesses aren’t fairly carried out with their collaboration. Hopefully, we’ll ultimately see the likes of Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and different N64 classics from Uncommon.
As soon as we’ve got the discharge date, we’ll allow you to all know. Within the interim, tell us what you consider Jet Drive Gemini making a comeback!
